My /dev is static. I am not using udev. I have set the permissions to
crw.rw.... Somehow, it had been changed to NO rw at all.

I will add it to /set/modules and see. I did not have this problem with 2.6.16 
kernels but then again, I do not do all that much printing so maybe I did.
Cups writes printer.conf with the default printer (with the data switch 
setting the parallel line to it) as "idle" and the second printer (not live) 
to "stopped". So why did I need to manually "start" the supposedly "idle" 
printer?

See what happens after next reboot.
